1.6. In a progressive setting, the teacher is no longer the authoritarian figure from which all knowledge flows; rather, the teacher assumes the peripheral position of a facilitator. The teacher encourages, offers suggestions, questions, and helps plan and implement courses of study.
1.7. Dewey proposed that children learn both individually and in groups. He believed that children should start their mode of inquiry by posing questions about what they want to know. Today, we refer to this method of instruction as the problem-solving or inquiry method.

6.4. John Dewey advocated the creation of curriculum that would allow for the child's interest and developmental level while introducing the child to "the point of departure from which the child can trace and follow the progress of mankind in history, getting insight also into the materials used and the mechanical principles involved" (Dworkin, M.S., 1959,p. 43).
6.5. Dewey advocated active learning, starting with the needs and interests of the child; he emphasized the role of experience in education.

8.4. Functionalists believe that unequal educational outcomes are the result, in part, of unequal educational opportunities. Is it is imperative to understand the sources of educational inequality so as to ensure the elimination of structural barriers to educational success and provide all groups a fair chance to compete in the educational marketplace.
8.5. The conflict theorists believe that the role of schooling is to reproduce rather than eliminate inequality, the fact that educational outcomes are to a large degree based on family background is fully consistent with this perspective.
8.6. The interactionist suggest that one must understand how people within institutions such as families and schools interact on a daily basis in order to comprehend the factors explaining academic success and failure.
